Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Will you come to Christ, dear brother,
Tho’ in sin you’ve strayed afar?
You will find there can no other
Save you now as you are.
Refrain
Will you come to Him, dear brother,
Will you come, will you come?
He can save, there is no other—
Will you come, will you come?
List, O sinner, Christ is speaking,
In My Father’s house there’s room!
Will you come, admittance seeking,
Leave the world and its gloom?
Refrain
Hark! He still is sweetly calling,
Sinner, come, oh! come today;
Tarry not, in weakness falling,
He’ll sustain all the way!
Refrain
